Bridging the gap between Potential and Opportunity for 50,000+ international students & immigrants

About us

Re-Defined: International Students, Redefining Success 🌟 Moving to a new country is tough — building a life here is even tougher. At Re-Defined, we believe that international students don’t lack talent or ambition; they lack access. Access to the right people, opportunities, and knowledge to thrive in Canada. That’s why we built Re-Defined: a members-only community for international students, by international students — a space where potential meets opportunity. Here’s how we help students become career-ready and life-ready: 🌍 Community: A network of 50,000+ students across Canada, building meaningful connections and supporting each other every step of the way. 📈 Upskilling: Tailored programs like internships, fellowships, and workshops that address the unique challenges faced by international students. 🤝 Mentorship: Direct access to 200+ mentors from top companies, ready to share insights and open doors through our 24/7 WhatsApp groups. In just 1.5 years, we’ve hosted 45+ events, partnered with 12+ institutions, and expanded to 4 cities across Canada — all with one mission: to ensure no student feels alone in their journey. At Re-Defined, we don’t just help students find jobs; we empower them to redefine what success looks like in a new country. 🌟 Redefine your success and join us here: https://forms.gle/HkzbUrdBpD2cT7Hi9

    Hear it from our CEO, Ritika Saraswat: As an international student, I came to Canada like many others—with hopes, dreams, and this unspoken belief that the country would somehow change my life. And yes, in many ways it did. But not in the way I expected. What I’ve realized over the years is: you don't need to figure it all out alone. There are people willing to help, support, and guide you. The key is: ✅ Find the right people ✅ Ask for help the right way That said, support can only go so far. Because at the end of the day, it’s still YOU. You are responsible for your success, your choices, and how your story unfolds. And one of the most powerful choices you can make? 👉 Surround yourself with the right community 👉 Join networks that elevate you 👉 Be in spaces that help you stop surviving and start thriving I've lived the impact the right network can have on your confidence, your mindset, and your growth. That’s why I started building one—for other international students and immigrant professionals who feel lost, alone, or stuck figuring it all out. I don’t want any of us to live in a victim mentality anymore. I want us to be creators of our own story. I want us to take ownership of our futures. To stop saying “this country didn’t give me a chance” and start asking “how can I create one?” Because YOU are already a winner. Our role is simply to help you unlock that potential. So if you’ve ever: 🙋♀️ Been told you’re just here for PR 🙋♂️ Been passed over for not having “Canadian experience” 🙋♀️ Been rejected for being “overqualified” 🙋♂️ Felt like you’re doing everything but still not getting anywhere Then I want to say: You’re not alone. And your story isn’t over. You’ve probably already come further than you think. You just need to learn how to connect the dots strategically—and surround yourself with people who remind you of your power. ✨ That’s what our community is here to do. If you haven’t already, join the waitlist and be part of something bigger than just networking. Let’s build this new chapter of immigration, together: https://lnkd.in/dE_EzmEj

That’s exactly what we’re building—an accessible, faster, and more sustainable way for immigrants to take charge of their future without being at the mercy of external consultants. Through this partnership, Re-Defined members will have access to an AI-powered platform that empowers you to navigate the system on your own terms. ✅ If you haven’t already, join our membership waitlist here: https://lnkd.in/d7gAiT3j to unlock benefits like this and be part of a community that’s reshaping the newcomer experience. Your journey. Your control. Your future. 💡 Thank you Max Medyk and team for your support #students #newcomers #immigrants #internationalstudents #benefits #community
